Pediatric Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) Imaging Guidelines

Covers pediatric peripheral vascular disease imaging—including advanced CT, MR and nuclear studies—for patients <18 with conditions such as vascular anomalies (lymphatic, venous, capillary malformations, AVMs/fistulas, vascular tumors), vasculitis (large/medium/small vessel), and aortic/visceral artery disorders. Imaging is intended for children with documented clinical signs or common symptom complexes (not for asymptomatic screening); atypical presentations require physician review, a prior pertinent clinical evaluation (history, exam, labs and basic imaging such as radiography/ultrasound) is expected, and repeat imaging is discouraged absent evidence of progression or documented impact on management.
